I'm sorry to hear you lost data due to that issue. NTFS, ext4, and other consumer-targeted filesystems do not have this feature either, so it's unfair to imply

NTFS, ext4, and other consumer-targeted filesystems do not have this feature either, so it's unfair to imply this is somehow specific to HFS+ or Macs. You'd have the same issue on a Windows or Ubuntu install.
- binarycrusader 12y agoActually, as of Windows 8.1 (64-bit only), ReFS is now supported which does have those features: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReFS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReFS So in the near future, Windows will have an answer for the general mainstream, while OS X will be left far behind. Even ignoring the checksumming issue, HFS+ has known pathologies not only in reliability but in performance compared to NTFS or even ext4 on Linux. HFS+ is long overdue for replacement.
